Behold this extraordinary 19th Century French figural Clock set, a masterpiece reminiscent of Jean Antoine Houdon's renowned model. At its centerpiece, a grand bronze sculpture of Cupid, adorned with a gilt bow and arrow, graces this exceptional ensemble. Resting upon a naturalistic base adorned with delicate flowers and serene doves, it stands as a testament to artistic prowess.

Elevated upon a Rouge marble and ormolu-mounted circular base, this striking creation houses an inset clock, marrying function with unparalleled beauty. Each candelabrum within the set is a masterpiece in its own right, featuring a sitting Putti cradling a branch, each hand adorned with twin lights. These figures, raised upon circular ormolu-mounted Rouge marble bases, exude elegance and sophistication.

This ensemble, inspired by the legendary Houdon, captures the essence of artistry and grace. The intricate details, from the lifelike representations to the harmonious integration of bronze, marble, and gilt elements, exemplify the pinnacle of 19th-century craftsmanship. A symphony of beauty and functionality, this clock set stands as a testament to the enduring allure of artistic expression in horology.
